Bouygues Telecom Deploys Verimatrix Content Security for IPTV Service

VCAS-Secured BBOX Bolsters Multiple-Play Services for French Operator

LAS VEGAS — 2009 International CES — Verimatrix, setting the standard in content security technologies that enhance the value of pay-TV networks, today announced Bouygues Telecom as the latest network operator in France to deploy the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS®) for IPTV. Bouygues Telecom is securing its MPEG-4 live broadcast and on-demand video content delivered via ASDL to the BBOX home gateway, which was launched in October 2008.

Bouygues Telecom has deployed a highly-sophisticated IPTV system combining the services delivered by two major head-ends in France. The TV channel lineup is a combination of several free-to-air and premium pay channels, including the main provider of premium channels in the French market. Verimatrix enabled Bouygues Telecom to market the solution in an extremely short timeframe thanks to VCAS for IPTV’s rapid and smart integration capabilities. An innovative roadmap, a fast time-to-market and advanced security capabilities have been the main decision factors for implementing Verimatrix’s software-based content security solution.

“Bouygues Telecom is a substantial operator in a very competitive IPTV market,” said Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and marketing officer at Verimatrix. “We were able to cost effectively deliver our solution, which easily integrates with its innovative BBOX home gateway. VCAS’ inherent flexibility enables Bouygues Telecom to leverage its advanced network for future video distribution business models.”
